Med Force General and Research, Baffin. Administrator's Office

They sat in Doc's office to speak privately. It was just that, an office. He had a computer to review files and yes, a filing cabinet. A large picture hung on the wall behind his desk of a Kusari woman in a Kimono. Together, the men sat in discussion. As Doc listened, he felt a little more at ease as he realized he wasn't going to have to deal with the law. Still, it was disturbing to hear the story. He gave a few sighs, a couple of nods and a head shake or two.
"I am no mental health expert," he explained but I do know that women will make excuses for the men they love out of fear if for no other reason." He sighed again, "Yes, it sounds like Sonja was no different."

He stood up and poured himself a seltzer, pouring another for his guest as well before returning to his seat.
"She arrived here just over two weeks ago. Actually, she arrived at Barrier Gate Station in Coronado where I happened to be having ship problems. I brought her here myself because if I did not, she would have died there."
He sipped his seltzer. "I can only assume this guy must have been big. Her injuries indicated to me that she had been thrown around like a rag doll and beaten like a punching bag." He nodded a little, "I had to feed her a lot of blood to keep her alive."

He pulled up the pictures of her injuries on his computer and was blunt as the man looked. "I would not have cared if she had intended to kill him. I would have protected her myself with what I saw."
There was a slight hint of rage that was subdued that forced him to collect himself for a moment.
"She is a sweet girl, a beautiful young woman," he stated. "She did not deserve that and she will remain under my care for awhile yet. I can fix the physical scars but not the mental ones. I fear that the sight of you will cause her to have an anxiety attack and right now, her heart cannot take that."

He then looked perplexed. "Your chief did not want to spend resources on her?" He shook his head. "His job is to do just that, to see that justice is done, to see that due process is given and that victims are given care." He again sounded a bit angered by it but he cooled himself quickly. "The fact that you came this way speaks volumes about you in a good way. You are to be commended. It was a long trip from Freeport 5 to here so I have quarter for you to get some rest."

Finally, he shut down the computer and stood up. "I will let you get settled. I will have one of my people escort you to your quarters as I have rounds to make. There is a large cafe and restaurant near you and please, observe visitor restrictions. I will speak with Sonja and see if she is up to speaking with you."
